DANNY REYES. is this burning right ? am i living bridges ? can we build our past right ? learning through future solecism.'cause i've been looking at the sky to show me where i went WRONG. been looking at the sky like someone was looking down, but it keeps raining on me. and i've been looking at the sky since i was like five years old. been looking for the stars but it seems like they're all GONE. and the fault's not yours alone, but i think it's time to go. it's played out. i've moved on. get FUCKED up. my new draw and it's not right. you're dead wrong. what are we doing? let's go home. there's no hope. it's all wrong. and i've got way too many questions just to try and get it right.

mila hums as she walks down the flights of stairs, a daisy tucked behind her ear and she’s wearing her baggy rolling stones shirt, covered to every corner in rainbow paint. “on my way,” she calls out to whoever was ringing the doorbell, and her bare feet pad down the final few stairs as she swings open the door with a wide grin on her face - eyes immediately meeting the male who stood there. “hey there sunshine, wanna come in? you here for indi?”

as the door opened, danny was at a loss for words, not sure if he had actually gotten the directions to india’s place right. mouth parting in slight awe, he ran a hand through his hair, a nervous habit, before realizing he had to speak. “pardon?” he began, before making sense of her words. “yeah, india. um, i’d love to come in. and you are? she didn’t tell me she had a roommate.”

“If another customer touches my ass or calls me any more creepy pet names, I swear I’ll- I’ll- Ugh! I don’t know what I’ll do, but I’ve not got the patience for this,” Lex sighed, slumping into the seat of the booth and throwing her apron on the table. She was ready to relax on her break. “Why can’t creepy old men keep their goddamn hands to themselves?”

“oh, sorry.” danny perked up at the sound of the other’s voice, offering an apologetic grimace of sorts. “sorry that we suck as a gender, but also sorry that you’re having a shit day,” he clarified with a tiny nod. “can’t you let your manager know or something? i’m sure there’s some policy set to kick them out, unless there isn’t then that’s just...stupid. i’m not super familiar with how it all works.”

“yeah, but that doesn’t mean i can’t use ‘em. no, i’ve gotta’ use two, but it’s so worth it. dude–no. they are not the same, and i’m really offended that you think so–that’s like calling me chinese just because i’m asian. no games? at all? i get not wanting to play right now, but maybe we can play later. do you wanna’ play later? we are talking about clue, because you just said the word clue. and i just said the word clue, so we’re definitely talking about it. miss scarlet is foxy, i always hope that she’s not the murderer. even though she would probably look good in a jumpsuit, but whatever. debatable, to be honest. weed just makes me a better person, over all, it’s my pleasure to be stoned and be a much more pleasant person to be around. extra storage? okay, yeah, i think that helps. so like, extra drawers for your computer desk? i could get you an organizing tray or some shit.”

“that’s literally not the same thing. if i called you chinese, it’d be racist. i’m comparing two handheld game devices that involve taking care of a pet, chill. i don’t want to play later. just because i said the word clue doesn’t mean i want to talk about clue. also the only reason i said it was to get you to stop talking about it. miss scarlet isn’t real even if she was the murderer. don’t you find that a little concerning, man? smoking shouldn’t be the thing that makes you decent. i’m sure you’re fine sober. no, not extra drawers...like gigabytes and shit like that. you can find it on amazon or best buy...any electronics store.”

“you definitely shouldn’t try everything once, but i guess my youth is leaving and unless i want to be alone my entire life then i should probably get out there more. i could always use more friends, but it’s, odd…like, why not just make a tinder site for making friends instead? i’d join that. okay, we’ll have to hang out afterwards so you can tell me if it didn’t go well because of me or if it was his fault. logical, hm, interesting way to describe someone. well, i overthink loads, so maybe we could bond about that. if i meet you in another life then we’ll make sure of it.”

“why not? life’s not worth living if you don’t take advantage of it all. we can agree to disagree. nah, it’s not about youth. you can find love at any stage in your life, although i’ll admit i’m feeling the pressure now that my little sister is engaged. don’t they have a friends feature on bumble? don’t know how well it works, but you could give it a shot. oh for sure, we can grab some drinks and you can talk about how charming i was with my date. yeah that’s nathaniel for you. a real golden boy. that’s a promise.”

❛ sms to nate ❜

nate: a school counselor? did she go to uni?

nate: um idk mate

nate: you know, i just got on a new case, i don't think i have time for dating

danny: bruh

danny: what's with the bourgeois attitude ??

danny: she's a school counselor so ofc she did

danny: why are u like this ?

danny: it's literally just going to be one dinner, a couple hours max. i'll be there too

danny: you're going btw

[rvyesdan]

amber.

“can’t we just not discuss it at all? that’s, well, i want to reread harry potter, i don’t want to go on dates or anything of the sort. i just feel like, i will go on a date with nate if it’ll show you how incompetent i am and so you’ll give up on ever finding me someone. i don’t think i’ve ever once had a good date. it’s the same to me, too. hopefully he’s not too pretentious though? okay, well, i trust your judgement so set it up. no they wouldn’t, we’d be like the obamas - a national treasure.”

“if that’s what you want, ams. you know my motto is to try everything once. or in the case of dates, more than once because sometimes they do suck, but other times you can make a great friend out of it. notice how i said friend. you don’t have to feel pressured into a romantic connection. friends are great, right? i’d never give up on you. and if things don’t go well with nate, it’d most likely be his own fault. nate is just nate. you’ll know what i mean when you meet him. i don’t think he’s that pretentious. just, er, logical? overthinks a lot too. i’ll send him a text tonight. exactly. no worries though; in another life, it’ll be me and you.”

[rvyesdan]

amber.

“no, i do not want to jump his bones. and that is such a painful way to phrase it - it sounds awful. hey, i can get some, if i wanted something then i could. i said yes to a date, how’s that not giving him a chance? green eyes are nice, but a lawyer? really? what kind? ‘cause some lawyers are awful, danny. i guess. i’m so not serious, though. it’s definitely on the platonic side. but you can send me valentines day cards still?”

“well, let’s just say sex then. i believe you, but the problem is that instead of doing that you’re rereading harry potter. i don’t know, you just sound skeptical still. oh, shit. um, i think maybe a corporate lawyer? or maybe he’s a criminal lawyer? i’ll be honest, it’s all the same to me. that’s why i’m a writer. he’s nice though, i promise. i know his family. they’re all great. wow, but i completely understand. the world just wouldn’t be ready for us. of course i will, chocolates and flowers included. platonically.

“hell yeah, i do! it’s for whenever i wanna’ drink beer and don’t wanna’ have to attempt to be careful and not spill it with the open bottle top–it’s quite life changing. game? i just told you i was playing nintendogs, bro! but, i also used to fuck heavily with cooking mama. but, i do have board games if you wanna’ play? i’ve got the game of life and clue. clue makes my head hurt, though. there’s too many people to keep track of and murder weapons. it’s also whack as shit to think that a candlestick is a good murder weapon; professor plum isn’t a very good professor if he choses to kill someone with a candlestick–what college hired that nitwit? but, don’t worry, danny boy! i totally got you, i’ll go get you a new hard drive today. i’ve got no clue what it is, but don’t worry, i’ll figure it out.”

“you know those cups are literally made to help toddlers learn how to drink? are they even big enough to hold beer? nintendogs, tamagotchis...same difference. i was more into the actual game consoles when i was a kid, but this has nothing to do with the point of our conversation. i’m not trying to play any games with you. i’m trying to have an adult conversation. why are you talking about clue? we’re not talking about clue. has weed really fried your brain that much? dude, no. a hard drive is just extra storage for your computer. does that help at all?”

“hey, sh with the cursing. yeah, like, the chef will totally count as entertainment, too. because saying he’s hot implies other things, why can’t i just say he’s good-looking? that should suffice, surely. i’m in no way too good for him, that’d be ridiculous, not that any of that matters anyway. danny! sh, stop it, oh my god.” she rolled her eyes, finding him to be more insane by the minute. “i really doubt it. with that logic, you could be my soulmate.”

“ooh, sorry ‘bout that. just got a bit too excited. see, we’re getting a two for one. saying that he’s hot doesn’t mean you want to jump his bones, unless you do, then i wholeheartedly support you getting some. okay, i guess i can understand your hesitance with shawn, but you don’t even know nate and you’re not giving him a chance. you know he’s a lawyer, has dreamy green eyes, maybe more on the serious side, but i guess you can just say he’s brooding. girls find that hot, yeah? he’s a real catch. hey, i wasn’t going to mention it, but i’ve always felt like we were a little bit soulmate-ish. i figured it was more on the platonic side, but i’m always open to anything.”

❛ sms to nate ❜

nate: what

nate: who is it?

nate: what do they do?

danny: yeaaah man

danny: her name's amber

danny: she's a school counselor, real cute, a ray of sunshine

danny: so what'd you say??

[rvyesdan]

amber.

“right, sorry. well, like, next week anytime or next month anytime? wine and cocktails, yes, alright, and both platters and real food. ooh, maybe you could hire, like, on of those sushi chefs who prepare the food in front of you? is that too much? sandwiches sound good, i like it. i love sandwiches.” she nodded, making a mental note add the plans to some kind of document before the end of the day. “n-no, hot sounds weird, okay? he’s very good looking though, so you probably will still find him hot, and who knows? maybe you’ll hit it off. well, he’s never asked me either. not that it matters, because i just do not like him that way.” she smiled, perhaps a little too evident that she was lying. okay, well you sort it all out since you’re the mutual friend.”

“oh, no. next week for sure. honestly, that’s a great fuckin’ idea. we’ll have the sushi chef and those fancy mini sandwiches ‘cause why not? we make a great team. you just said lit and swaggy with a straight face, but you can’t call him hot? whatever suits you though. i’m positive we’ll hit it off. if you like him this much, i don’t see any reason why i won’t. maybe he thinks you’re too good for him. anyway, amber and shawn sitting in a tree....” he wiggled his eyebrows playfully, giving her a small nudge. “got it. who knows? we’ve been talking about shawn this time when nate could be your soulmate.”

“pretty fast. his flow is pretty quick. not like busta rhymes quick, but still at a decent pace. basically meaning i will reply to your text within one business day or less. i love those little toddler cups! it has a lid and you don’t need a straw for it. but, uh, i’m super sorry about your hard drive. i could get you a new one? … what is a hard drive? like, do i buy it at an auto parts store?”

“how does that translate into one business -- you know what, nevermind. i’m just not going to ask. so, you do have a toddler cup? okay, you can’t be serious...what kind of game are you playing here, el? i’m glad you’re having fun and all, but i need that hard drive for my work. like, actual real work. not whatever you were doing on your tamagotchi.”
